Extra dimension-inspired models: Z', W', dijet resonances, black hole searches

Abstract

I give a summary of BSM searches performed by the ATLAS and CMS experiments with an focus on heavy gauge bosons, extra dimensions and quantum black holes. The presented results use data collected during 2012 when the LHC operated at an center of mass energy of $\sqrt{s}$ = 8 TeV.
